Vikings: 9-6 Bills: 5-10 1. Points per game: Vikings - 22.8; Bills - 21.1 2. Rushing yards/game: Vikings - 161.1; Bills - 140.5 3. Rushing yards/carry: Vikings - 5.4; Bills - 5.1 4. Rushing TDs: Vikings - 15; Bills - 10 5. Fumbles: Vikings - 9; Bills - 6 6. Passing yards/game: Vikings - 168.3; Bills - 202.9 7. Passing yards/attempt: Vikings - 5.9; Bills - 6.6 8. Passing TD's: Vikings - 15; Bills - 23 9. INT's: Vikings - 12; Bills - 17 10. Defense pts/game: Vikings - 20.9; Bills - 28.4 11. Defense yds/game: Vikings - 346.3; Bills - 364.9 12. Sacks: Vikings - 31; Bills - 30 13. INT's: Vikings - 12; Bills - 17 14. Forced Fumbles: Vikings - 13; Bills - 18 Looking at those numbers, a few surprise me: we have basically the same amount of sacks, have more INT's, and have more forced fumbles than the Vikings. Considering we're 4 games apart, the numbers are pretty much balanced and even; The vikings are a little better at running the ball, the bills are a little better at passing the ball, they score about the same amount of points; bills give up a few more points, but that could also be chalked up to several complete blowouts. I'm not sure what the exact strength of schedule is, but i can assure you that the Vikings had a tougher schedule than we did after looking at their schedule. So with similar #'s to the bills, and a tougher schedule than the Bills, they somehow manage to be 4 games better than the bills. The ultimate difference between teams probably comes down to coaching (preparing to execute when it matters most in a game), and mental toughness as a team..which can also go back to coaching. It's pretty sad to look at those numbers and see how close we are on paper to a possibly playoff birth yet somehow in reality, we're still so far away.

Lol. I've had one too many jack n cokes tonight. Sorry. =(

I'd go with Chan one more year, guarantee another top 5 pick next year and then go all in on Andy Reid in 2014.

amen to that man. that being said, i'm sure we'll beat the jets..for the first time in how many games? how bills-like would that be?

ya, i'm never one for rooting for a loss...but man a win next week would be absolutely pointless. I wanted us to finish strong vs the dolphins and the jets, but after this weeks shitshow, i just want a high draft pick.

i'd be happy wither Te'o. VERY happy. this team seriously needs a playmaking LB up the middle. KW, Dareus, and Te'o sounds nice up the middle. However, i'd happily go with Bjoern Werner if Te'o isn't there or even if he is there. Werner is the best DE in this draft and though we have quite a bit of money at the DE position, we STILL lack a consistent pass rush from the front 4.

lol

yeah, jones is def best for a 3-4. maybe we'll just switch back and forth between 3-4/4-3 personnel every 2 years and eternally suck at both? best defensive player at #4 for our defense is in my sig.

when will we ever see a 9-7 record around here anymore??

i wanted to beat the Jets 3 weeks ago, now i could honestly give two *****. at this point, a win next week may potentially cost us 3-4 spots on draft day.

ya, freaking pathetic. It's a re-run of this entire season. Doesn't change the fact that SJ dropped a TD and fumbled in the redzone and had another drop..all in the 1st half.

time to watch the Texans lose instead.

oh, BOO !@#$ING HOO, SJ is having a bad game so lets just ignore that and pile up on Chan and Fitz.

Reggie Bush better receiver than SJ or anyone else on the Bills. Enough now Ryan.

"By rule, the buffalo bills are not allowed to win another football game. By rule"

Let's face it, this group of WR is one of the worst in the NFL. B word about that

Lmfao. Yup, its fitz

he's winded.

dropped TD and fumble in redzone are at least 10 points lost by SJ, withh a possibility of 14 points lost by SJ. but it's Chan and Fitz.

Lmao..I love how the playcalling and Fitz are being called out by dorkington. Not a fumble by SJ in the redzone, not a dropped TD by SJ, not 2 dropped passes by SJ, not 4 false starts. Nope, its Chan and Fitz. Lmfao

Lmao, and SJ keeps coming up small. People keep saying I wonder how good stevie would be with a "real" qb. I wonder how good fitz would be if he actually had a SINGLE decent WR

LMFFAAO

this statement couldn't be more incorrect. tebow has NOTHING in common with RGIII and Russel Wilson. nothing. that's like saying Bolt could be a RB in the NFL just b/c he can run.

I don't understand why you're so in favor of continuity but then say that "one more year" is the way to go. In that case, why not just tell Chan: "you got 10 more years to get this right Chan." Wouldn't that be continuity? 3 and out is bad but 4 and out is ok? Chan's job needs to be seriously evaluated. If the bills win the next two games and show some fight/resiliency, i'd be in favor of keeping Chan for another year. If we continue to have the pathetic showings in the next two weeks we had vs. the seawhawks, Chan needs to be fired. End of story.

I'll be on record for saying that Chan Gailey's job should be seriously evaluated at the end of the season and I'd be leaning towards firing him. The Bills' record over the last 3 years is ATROCIOUS. At the same time, this is arguably the most "talent" we've had on our team in the last 5-7yrs. Furthermore, Chan is incapable of beating teams we have to beat: the Jets, Dolphins, and Pats. What's the Bills record vs. those teams the last 3 years? I'm not even going to look, but I'll venture to say that it's probably something like 5-11 (again, that's a guess, but doing the math in my head, that sounds about right). To me, the biggest problem i have with gailey are the blowouts we've seen vs. the Jets, the Pats, the niners, the seahawks and others where the bills weren't even competitive. Being in the 3rd year, there's no excuse for such routs. It's a sign of the team being unprepared on a strategic level and being both mentally and physically weak. For me, the last two games of this season still mean a lot. I want to see if this team can show me some mental toughness and finish with a couple of wins vs. divisional opponents. If we can finish with wins vs. the dolphins and the jets it'll at least show me that the team hasn't completely tanked it in and hasn't quit on Chan and e/o. I like Chan overall as a person, much the same way I like Fitz overall as a person, but continuity for the sake of continuity is a recipe for disaster. We'll see where we stand at the end of the season.
